A Ladies Guide to Royal Ascot Style
The definitive guide to styling our most recent Summer 23 collection for Royal Ascot this coming June, this article focuses on a number of different colour-coordinated looks that pair our dresses and coats together. If you love tonal looks, then you'll find plenty to inspire you here.
Luxurious, impactful, elegant, and feminine, our coats perfectly exemplify our unwavering attention to detail, epitomised by the immaculate embroidery, silk prints, finishing details, and flattering silhouettes. Some coats, such as the Westminster and the Carnaby are perennial silhouettes that return in new guises season after season, while others are drawn from the archive or created anew. To help you understand the differences in this season's collection, we've compiled a short glossary of each style so you have a better idea of the nuances of cut, collar, and construction.
